aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><em>Foreword <\/em>to the <em>Statute of<\/em> the Magnificat Community<\/strong> *<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The Magnificat Community is a Covenant Community,<br\/>which has at its center the one Lord Christ Jesus.<br\/>All community life is developed on the indication of a word<br\/>that from the very beginning was considered fundamental and prophetic:<br\/>&#8220;With Jesus, on Jesus, build.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Indeed, we believe that Christianity<br\/>before even a doctrine or morality,<br\/>is the very person of Jesus Christ.<br\/>Those who have met him and experienced him burn with a desire to know him<br\/>and want to model their lives on his teachings,<br\/>which the Magisterium of the Church authoritatively in his name<br\/>re-proposes and actualizes.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">We believe that at the beginning of our community life<br\/>is the love of Christ who loved us and brought us together<br\/>giving us the grace to love him in turn in our brothers and sisters.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">We believe that the Community is a <em>monastery with invisible walls<\/em>,<br\/>where every day we try to live in the school of Christ,<br\/>Master and Lord.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">We believe that the Community is called<br\/>to build its life on the Eucharist,<br\/>celebrated, adored and lived.<br\/>In it it finds the necessary strength<br\/>to bring God&#8217;s plan to fruition;<br\/>therefore, each Fraternity, has a place<br\/>where it is possible to nourish its Eucharistic spirituality<br\/>through adoration.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">We believe that the Lord,<br\/>to make us free and able to love,<br\/>with selfless love, God and our brothers and sisters,<br\/>calls us to live according to the spirit of the &#8220;<em>Four Promises<\/em>&#8220;:<br\/><em>Poverty<\/em>, <em>Permanent Forgiveness<\/em>, <em>Love Building<\/em>, <em>Service<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">We believe that the primary and necessary condition<br\/>for living community life is <em>Poverty<\/em>;<br\/>with it we choose a simple and sober lifestyle<br\/>that is a sign for the world.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">We believe that <em>Permanent Forgiveness<\/em><br\/>makes us willing to forgive<br\/>as Jesus forgave us<br\/>and to fight the inclination to judgment.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">We believe that the <em>Construction of Love<\/em><br\/>leads us to recognize in each brother the person of Christ<br\/>and commits us to resolve faulty relationships<br\/>taking the first step to true reconciliation.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">We believe that in the Community<em>spiritual accompaniment<\/em><br\/>realizes a concrete form of <em>mutual submission<\/em> (cf. <em>Ephesians<\/em> 5:21).<br\/>It is an expression of the body&#8217;s love for each of its members<br\/>and embraces every sphere of life.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">We believe that the charity generated by the Eucharist<br\/>makes us &#8220;<em>generous of heart<\/em>&#8220;<em>(Exodus<\/em> 25:2)<br\/>to live Service to God, to the poor, to humanity, to the Church.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">We believe that the name <em>Magnificat<\/em><br\/>indicates that each member of the Community<br\/>intends to combine <em>contemplation<\/em> with<em>action<\/em>,<br\/>like Mary who, as soon as she received the gift of Jesus in herself,<br\/>hurried to bring it to Elizabeth.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">We believe that the Community has arisen<br\/>for the <em>new evangelization<\/em>.<br\/>This mission it fulfills not for itself, but for the Church<br\/>and accomplishes it through its own witness of life<br\/>and proclamation of the Gospel.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">We believe that <em>Christ cannot be divided<\/em> (cf. <em>1 Corinthians<\/em> 1:13),<br\/>which is why the Community is in communion with all Christians<br\/>and seeks the unity of God&#8217;s people<br\/>&#8220;<em>together with all who in every place<br\/>call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ<\/em>&#8220;<em>(1 Corinthians<\/em> 1:2).<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n<p
